The Earthquake Scene of Horror.

The Earthquake scene Oh horrcr'
ROME, March 1.-The panic was re-
newed yesterday at Genoa on Il false
report that Father Densa had pre-
dictcd another shock. Goth there and
at Savona the people refuse to return
to their houses. They stop in car
riages and im.provised places Of shell
ter. Signor Geniana, minister of pub
lie works, has visited Bajador and at
tended the funeral of 230 victims of
the church collapse, who were buried
in common trench in the cemetery.
He also made arrangements for tenn
porary hospital for the injured.
Slight oscillations were felt yester-
day at Albenga and Portomaurizco.
Relief committees are being formed
throughout the country, but it is i'm
possible to supply the numerous wants.
A bill will be introduced in parlia-
ment for credit of 100000 for relict
S,gnors Densa and Bianchi, experts.
say there need be no further fears.
San Reno is deserted. There were
3O3 persons killed and $50 injured in
that town. Troops have been COM
PEELED to keep back, at the point of
the bayonct, crowds of despairing
men and women who were impeding
the work of rescue in efforts to find
missing relatives. The bodies of the
victims of the disaster are terribly dis
figured. The suflIerings of the survi-
vors are great. The supply of p"ovis-
ions, drugs and ambulance apparatus
are painfully inadequate, end the work
of the rescuers is attended with con-
siderable danger. In some cases they
have been obliged to flee from
tovering walls, although they conld
hear groans of victims buried beneath
the debris. All members of the fam
lily of the mayor of Badjadoa were
killed. OF another family, consisting
of twenty-five persons, named Maestrl,
only Il single member, half dcmented,
is left. Half clothed people are wan
derilg on the sca-shorc exposed to
Indictment weather. At Diana Mari
ano a man and child were taken out
alive, after being entombed three days.
Groans can still be heard in the ruins,
especially in 1arabaldi. The lost oil
is valued at $4,000. The losses on
other pr perry is heavy.

The Outrage Mill.

WAsHINGToN, March l. '- In the
Texas investigation yesterday Berr-
hart Lehman, German bar-kccpcr;
testified he was Republican until the
party became SO corrupt in the local
administration he could no longer con-
tinue with it. With regard to the repu-
tation of the memorialists, he said
Hackworth's was bad and Scheutz's
worse. On cross-cxamination he said
he left Long Point, where he was in
business, on account of personal diff
ficulty. Also admitted he kept his sa-
loon open on Sunday and sold liquor
in defiance of the Sunday law. Hack
worth was a prohibitionist.
Il. +. Curry, white, Democrat, testi-
fled to his belief that the negroes in
Washington county were inundated
by their fellow Republicans when
they wished to vote the Democratic
ticket. lie had heard of fifteen or
twenty negro clubs in the county, the
members of which were sworn to vote
the Republican ticket.

Killed by u Passenger Train.

BoNHAM, March Monday the
east bound passenger train between
the roundhouse and depot ran against
and killed II. X. Marsh, formerly a
Justice of the peace of Dodd City, but
at one time section foreman on the
Texas & Pacific. 1t seems he was
walking down the track eastward to-
ward the depot, when the train APP
preached from behind at rapid rate.
The brakes were thrown on and the
train bell rmg, but to no purpose.
The train struck him throwing him
into the air his head striking the ell
CINE tender aud crushing the back of
the skull. it is said Marsh was par
TALLY deaf and therefore did not hear
the approaching train, while the engi-
neer says Marsh looked back at the
train just before it struck him. His
brother, Lewis, is freight conductor,
and some months ago met with a
frightful fall near here, which came
near resulting in his death.

History Of the JOnes-Liddel
Vendetta.

The Jonos-Liddell vendetta, tn,
latest incident OF which is the quarre
at Washington between Congressman
j. Floyd King and Cuthbert Built
Jones, with runners of duel as con
sequence, began, as many other rowi
have done, between women. Carp
writing to the Cleavland Leader. says
The Jones-Liddell feud is one OF tn,
most interesting quarrels OF ricf
Louisiana families. Jones,s father
WAS rich Kentuckian who went &c
Louisiana early in lie and there mar
ried more riches in the person OF one
OF that states most beautiful daugh
tiers. He settled down there as n
planter, soon became known as one
OF the grandees OF the state, and AT
the time that the war broke out he
had hundreds OF slaves and thou
sands Of acres OF rich cotton lands.
He was highly respected and widely
known as high-toned gentleman.
Near him lived n wealthy planter
named Liddell, who WAS for years his
close friend. Gen. Liddell married
Yankee girl who had gone South to
teach. Liddell met her while she was
a governess and married her. Time
went on, and both Jones and Liddell
begot families, A jealousy srrang up
between the ladies of the families, and
this grew to such a degree that one
day when this man Jones's father
called upon his friend Liddell ono o.
the Liddell's daughters met him at
the gate and struck him across the
face with a riding whip. She then
shot at him with pocket pistol, but
failed to wound him seriously. 1t was
in this striking that the Liddell-Jones
feud was born. 1t has existed for
years, has been the cause OF twenty
five deaths, and has practically wiped
out the masculine portion OF both
families. Gen. King speaks OF the as
sassination OF .Liddell by Cuthbert
Jones's father, his eldest brother and
himself This killing was done at
Lddell's plantation. The Jones fami'
ly were riding down the the Missis.
slppi in steamboat when Gen. Lid
dell came on board and was killed by
his enemy, Mr.. Jones. 1t is probable
that Liddeli would have killed Jones
had not Jon es killed Liddell. lam told
that Gen. King makes mistake when
he says that Cuthbert Bullitt Jones
had any thing to do with the shooting.
He was only fifteen years old at the
time, and he has ! understand, never
killed a Liddell. King says that
Jones's father and his. elder brother
were lynched for the killing OF Liddell.
am told it is true they were killed,
but it was by Liddell's friends and
was only part of the customs oil
such feuds. They came to Joness
house and surpris ed him. They shot
the old man and this boy, who is now
after Kings life, and who escaped by
hanging out of third-story window
with his hands upon the sill. Had
his enemies found him they would
have killed him, too, for they wanted
to wipe out the whole family. They
did not notice his fingers, and he es-
capped and fled the country. He went
to Europe, was finely educated mt
Heidelberg university, and he now
speaks six languages as fiuently rs
the English.

The new bucket shop bill, which has
passed the house, and had already been
put through the senate. is virtually
the same as the old law, which il re.
pvais, but substantially re-enaotS. Il
fixes q penalty of from 800 TO $5Oe

ment for dealing in futures, each day
so doing to constitute separate Of

prisonment, upon parties renting

deemed expedient because some Of

Railway Commissioners

AUSTIN, March 1.-The railroad
commission bill is up for considera-
ton again to-day. Mr.. Simkins' sub
stitute is commented upon and criti-
cised a good deal, but friends OF the
measure contend that it is the only
remedy offered thus lar that is cvnsti-
tutional. 1t does not fix rates or go
into details, but leaves this for an
other law which is said to be forth
coming. Mr.. Abercrombie has offered
a joint resolution to amend the con-
stitution so that a commission with
greater authority may be created. 1t
is understood that either the bill or
the resolution will pass, as friends Of
the measures are working together
and are in the majority. But this is
not certain.
